Media favors Obama—what a surprise!

MSNBC’s coverage of Mitt Romney was far more negative than Fox News’ coverage of President Barack Obama during the period of Aug. 27 through Oct. 21, according to a study from Pew Research Center.

During that time, 71 percent of MSNBC's coverage of Romney was negative, compared to 46 percent negative coverage of Obama by Fox. The News Corp. network also beat MSNBC on the positive side. Fox gave Obama 6 percent positive coverage, while MSNBC gave Romney only 3 percent positive coverage.

Overall, the mainstream media evidenced a bias toward Obama, the study shows. Coverage of Obama was 19 percent positive, 30 percent negative, and 51 percent mixed. For Romney, the totals were 15 percent positive, 38 percent negative, and 47 percent mixed.

Please pass the Kool-Aid

James Taranto reports in today’s Wall St. Journal:

Bill Clinton may be the only person who's more enthusiastic about Obama than in 2008, but that doesn't mean the creepy cult around Obama has disappeared. The Weekly Standard notes that Mike Synan of Orlando's WOFL-TV reported yesterday on Twitter: "Crowd for #FLOTUS [Michelle Obama] event in Daytona now chanting 'Hail Obama.' "

Mrs. Obama's husband was in North Las Vegas, Nev., yesterday, and Yahoo! News reports that "about an hour before [Mr.] Obama spoke, the band played the gospel worship song 'All Around,' replacing the parts where the singer usually says 'Lord' with 'Obama.' "

Stand down, non-union utility crews--Sandy survivors don’t need you.

The President isn’t the only one who can give orders to "stand down."

"Derrick Moore, who works for Decatur Utilities in Decatur, Ala., told WAFF-TV in Huntsville that crews in Seaside Heights, N.J. turned him and his crewmates away, saying they couldn’t do any work there because they’re not union employees."

“Electric repair work for public utilities in New Jersey is dominated by the International Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers, a unit of the politically powerful AFL-CIO.

Many parts of coastal New Jersey are projected to be without electric power for at least seven to 10 more days.”

Let’s see if  Gov. Christie can stand up to this union, or if it is true that it is impossible to stand up to them.

They said it was impossible to touch the third rail of politics. To take on the public sector unions and to reform a pension and health benefit system that was headed to bankruptcy. (Republican Convention, 2012, speech)

Reading Exodus

Our church (Upper Arlington Lutheran Church) has been using the resource The Story (Zondervan) for morning worship, group studies and Sunday School. One can always find today’s diary or newspaper or evening news in the Old Testament. We’ll take a pause during Advent and also for All Saints Sunday.  I thought Pink’s’ assessment of Exodus explains it well.

One thing that impresses the writer more and more in his studies in and meditations upon the contents of this book of Exodus is the wonderful variety and the comprehensive range of truth covered by its typical teachings. Not only do its leading events and prominent characters foreshadow that which is spiritual and Divine, but even the smallest details have a profound significance. Moses is a type of Christ, Pharaoh of Satan, Egypt of the world. Israel groaning in bondage pictures the sinner in his native misery. Israel delivered from their cruel task-masters speaks of our redemption. Their journey across the wilderness points to the path of faith and trial which we are called on to walk. And now we are to see that the history of Israel also adumbrated the conflict between the two natures in the believer.

Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952)

Obama moves quickly when an election is pending

but we all remember it took Barack Obama fourteen days to visit the gulf coast after the BP oil spill.

"On April 20, 2010 BP's Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and commencing months of oil leaking unrestrained into the ocean. Efforts to manage the spill with controlled burning, dispersants and plugging the leak were unsuccessful until BP capped the well in mid-July, temporarily halting the flow of oil into the Gulf. The well was then successfully plugged and declared "effectively dead" on September 19." Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/30/louisiana-oil-spill-2010_n_558287.html

Whatever he is, it’s not good for America

“I have never entertained the idea that Obama was a Muslim and always believed he was a socialist. But Obama's behavior over the last four years regarding Islam has convinced me that Obama has a Socialist/Islamic centered worldview -- a combination that is not uncommon in many parts of the Muslim world. . .

“Both Sharia and socialism are united in their envy of Western society and need to change it. That is why Obama has become the savior of both Islam and socialism. He embodies both ideologies. The claim that Obama is a Christian was a silly joke, but a necessary lie for the greater cause of changing America to fit the goals of both creeds.”

Peoria Bishop explains Catholic life issue

"Today, Catholic politicians, bureaucrats, and their electoral supporters who callously enable the destruction of innocent human life in the womb also thereby reject Jesus as their Lord," Jenky added. "They are objectively guilty of grave sin." . . .

"Again, I am not telling you which party or which candidates to vote for or against," he said. "But I am saying that you need to think and pray very carefully about your vote, because a vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy."

More Planned Parenthood mischief—with children

Planned Parenthood has always been a disaster for teens—now they are going younger.  This should come as no surprise as we watch the trending in society's changing views of marriage--that it's only about rights and government benefits.  So if male/female is not the gold standard for marital sex as it has been since the beginning of recorded history, then why is TWO the standard, and then after polygamy is accepted as a right (with the help of reality TV), then tackle the age problem.  Why should only adults have "rights." So Planned Parenthood will soften the hard liners to go along with the mush brains. Read this article about PP promoting childhood sex and removal of parental input. http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/planned-parenthood-praises-sexual-pleasure-for-kids/

In a campaign disturbingly close to advocacy of child sex, the International Planned Parenthood Foundation, which advocates “sexual rights” for all, has created a “young people’s guide” in conjunction with its official declaration urging recognition of the “evolving capacities” for “sexual pleasure” in all children and young people….

Declaring that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights,” the document adds, “Therefore, all young people should be able to exercise and fulfil (sic) their rights equally, including sexual rights. … Barriers must be removed so that everyone, especially marginalized and under-served groups, can enjoy all human rights.”

Skirting the universal concept of an age of consent…

Look for this battleground in your public library children’s section.  And if you object, be prepared to be called a book banner.

Obama inspecting Sandy damage among the one percenters in New Jersey

I don’t have a problem with wealthy people.  They’ve earned it.  Obama does.  But he sure is sucking up to them in the aftermath of Sandy. The super wealthy love Democrats--higher taxes and more regulations knock out their competition, and if they're building their phone factories in China, it doesn't hurt at all.

Today in one of his speeches he actually had the gall to say, “We don’t leave any Americans behind (paraphrase).”  Huh.  How above the Benghazi cover-up?

“His comments at the end of the trip focused on the federal response, but concluded with a theme from Obama's campaign stump speech about Americans working together to help each other.

"We go through tough times, but we bounce back," the president said at the North Point Marina in Brigantine. "We bounce back because we look out for one another, and we [the federal government] don' t leave anybody behind." CNN

Obama’s war against women, pt. 2

“The estrogen-progesterone combination contained in the pill and hormone replacement therapies was declared a Class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization in 2005. All Class 1 carcinogens have been found to cause cancer in both lab and human studies. This means the ingredients in the pill are now listed in the same category as arsenic, asbestos, radium and tobacco smoke. Remember, hormone replacement therapy, which contains lower doses of the same ingredients as the pill, is now rarely prescribed because of the dangers - but the pill remains in widespread use.”

“The phony war on women is a crime against humanity.”

The electorate wakes up

Regardless of what happens next Tuesday, Obama has succeeded in waking up millions of Americans to what we have lost, not just the last 4 years, but our general carelessness with our freedoms. If Romney wins, he'll have millions paying attention, and we'll have our vigilant, sleeping media back on the job they've not done during the Obama years. The Benghazi fiasco makes me realize that without the media, we would have never known about the Watergate plumbers. And no one died.

http://patdollard.com/2012/10/ap-obama-turns-new-generation-into-fiscal-conservatives/

In one poll, for instance, he found that 42 percent of 18- and 19-year-olds identified as “conservative,” compared with just over one-third who said they were “liberal.” By comparison, those proportions were nearly flipped for 22- to 24-year-olds: 39 percent said they were “liberal,” and a third called themselves “conservative.” It was much the same for older twentysomethings.

Tina Wells, head of Buzz Marketing, an agency that tracks the attitudes of young people, has noticed this shift to the right. Her own researchers have found that the youngest adults are much more likely to label themselves “conservative,” “moderate” or “independent” than older millennials, a term for young adults who’ve entered adulthood in the new millennium.

Our media

The media (and some of my readers) will ridicule anything that isn't about Obama. And they will hide anything like arms running in the Middle East that makes Obama look bad. The media will say collecting supplies for people affected by one of the largest storms in 2 centuries is silly, but think what they would say if Romney did all out campaign?  Obama won’t have to lift a bag of groceries—he’ll just write a check on our behalf.  Obama has been campaigning for 2012 since January 2009, and it’s been a full court press since he appeared with his supporters in matching t-shirts at the funerals in Arizona 2 years ago.  That was his kick off.  Obama never misses an opportunity to campaign.  Right now, when the polls are going against him, he’s staying put in Washington, DC, pretending to pay attention and to care.  Where was he on September 11, 2012 when he watched the drama for 7 hours, and then abandoned his men?
